I seem to have the Motorola price list here.  These do go up pretty steeply
when you get to small quantities.  Anyway, for 68000s:

		Newark			Motorola (1-24)

MC68000FN10	$9.45	(PLCC)		$ 7.75

Undoubtedly, the 68020/68030 prices vary more.  The 12MHz 68020 is essentially
discontinued; they seem to keep it around for replacements, but you aren't
supposed to use it for new designs.  The 16MHz price is the same.
